Mercedes MBUX recognizes natural speech. You just say “Hey Mercedes, I’m cold” and it will turn the heat on. And that’s available in all models too, not just a S-class.

EKANS just kicked in yo

They should add a few tall poles and hang some form of wind catcher from the poles and see if that would allow for cleaner travel as well.

I’m guessing that some hero ran up to his car and pulled him out of the driver seat at speed. The nearby people were furious with how his racing could have killed people, not dozens or whatever, but still. Police arrived and tried to figure out how fast the car was going by having the hero run up and down the block…

Tesla fanboi “that’s kind of amazing that someone could manufacture such a complex aluminum manifold... No way a legacy manufacturer could ever do that.”

I would honestly be down for a Jalopnik TV show. I know, there was “Car vs America” - and I appreciated what little I got to see of it. But what I didn’t like as much was that it featured Raph and Ballaban. No, that’s not a diss. What I mean is I disliked the entire structure of building the show around two starring…

See what happens when you don't use an electrostatic bracelet to ground yourself? You wind up bricking your computer.

I’m allergic to apple products and apple software. Won’t watch the ever annoying auto-play video either. Any chance we could get the script at the bottom of your post? That would be awesome, because I can read a lot faster than the video will play.

Only Use a Digital Pressure Gauge, and Fill Tires If Off by More Than 1.5 PSI. 

I’m sure Adrian Newey will come up with some sort of brilliant way to make flexible helmet aero bits, that somehow meet scrutiny during parc ferme, while MBZ will allow it’s drivers to move their visor with their tongues, in a completely legal manner but to the protest of every other team, and Ferrari will figure out…

Whose 1969 Beetle is that?

Isn’t that the plot of the game Full Throttle?

I’ll pass on calling dibs. Few things are more humiliating than being underwater on a Hyundai.

How much clam chowder can you fit in the frunk?

Maybe it’s Turbo overheated and blew? You know how finicky those things are.

These are incredible numbers from a stock turbo. My guess is, with an aftermarket tune, and a larger turbocharger, this car might do two seconds, flat. I’m not sure how much these turbos are tuned for low-end, off the line torque, but my gut tells me with a quarter mile time like that, they have to come on boost…

I made this meme the other day. I’ll just leave it here.

I drove a ‘98 CE until 300 000kms and was so impressed I bought another ‘98 LE and drove that one to 300 000km then sold it in 2012 I believe.

It’s Dodge’s fault for letting you even put it in gear with it open, huge design flaw if you ask me

Yea people similarily confuse Moore’s law with speed all the time . I still find this blog entry pretty fun!
